Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 23, 1955
Transcript:
Charlie Brown sits holding a can with a string attached to the bottom of the can. He says, "Hello? Hello? HELLO?"<br> <br> A puzzled Patty approaches him as he exclaims, "Rats! It won't work! It Just Won't Work!!"<br> <br> Patty looks at the can and says, "You know what, Charlie Brown?" He replies, "What?"<br> <br> She concludes, "You should try taking the beans out of the can!"<br> <br>
If you can reach tin can phone tech support, they’ll inform you that the string has to be held taut between the two cans to transmit the sound.
